re: Anyone own vending machines?

80+ machines is a lotttt of effort to be bringing home less than 100k take home. And it seems like a fair amount of risk in terms of investment. Hard to sell that many machines really fast. Seems viable if you live in a big city, and much less so if you live in a smaller area.*

I mean, it’s not that much effort. I have my own career. I have two employees. I’m retiring from my career at 50 and will work the business 2-3 days a week. I have a warehouse that’s bought in cash with two rental shops on the front that cover utilities.

I could make more off of the vending business if I wanted. Everyone’s risk tolerance is different. It isn’t that risky to me with my established locations…why would I want to sell any of my machines? It’s not like I just started this yesterday. I made it through Covid and shutdowns. I am in a large metro of over 1MM people but have locations across the state.

Nearly everything I bring home in vending goes back into the business or retirement. Mostly retirement.
